Re: [Mac-access]: Deleting an App from My iPhone 5
Hi, You double tap and hold on the app icon on your screen until you hear the sound that lets you know you are in edit mode. At that point you can double tap on that app and you'll get a dialogue box that asks if you are sure you want to delete it. You would double tap on the ok button and the app will then be deleted.

[Mac-access]: glitch in clearing notifications on iPhone 5S
Hi, I'm experiencing a strange glitch in clearing notifications on our iPhone 5S now that I have updated the OS. The normal procedure for clearing the notifications is not working for me any more as it had been. After I updated our iPhone 5S to the most current OS release-- whenever I try to clear notifications from the notification screen (using voice over) they do not clear. Double-tapping the confirm clear button does nothing. It is so strange-- voiceover announces double-tap to clear notifications but that just doesn't work any more with voiceover turned on under this OS on our iPhone. However, a sighted person can clear the notifications, with voice over turned off. So it seems to be a problem with how the phone functions with voiceover turned on. Previously (before updating) to OS8 I never had any difficulty at all in clearing old notifications using voice over. Have any of you had this strange problem using voice over with your iPhone under this most current version and being unable to clear notifications as normal? Do you know of a fix or work around? or Is it a known bug that Apple will fix at the next release?

FYI: app released for US guide dog handlers
I have not checked out the app yet, but read this on another list and sharing FYI: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Guide Dog Users Group launches Innovative Mobile App Tampa, Florida (September 17, 2014): The National Association of Guide dog Users Inc., a division of the National Federation of the Blind and the nation's leading service animal advocacy organization, announced today that it has release the NAGDU Guide Service Dog Advocacy Information app. This new IOS app provides comprehensive information about the rights and responsibilities of service animal users under state and federal law. Every law in the United States concerning service animals can now be in your pocket, says Marion Gwizdala, NAGDU's president and a guide dog user himself. There is no other single source for this type of information. The NAGDU app provides the entire text of the implementing regulations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) concerning service animals, along with the relevant laws of each state. It also offers specific guidance for those industries in which service animal users face the most challenges, such as restaurants, taxicabs, hotels, and health care facilities. In addition, those who face discrimination because of their service dog can use the app to call a special advocate trained to resolve such issues. The app is provided for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch users free of charge as a public service by the National Association of guide dog Users. You can find the app by going to https://appsto.re/us/F8jO2.i or by simply searching for NAGDU in the Apple app store. --- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net --- To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages postedto the Mac-Access forum at the list's public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

Re: Grocery list apps
There's an app called AnyList that is free. I've played with it on my son's iphone to test its useability with VO before installing it myself. I found it to be useable. He and his wife use it for their shopping lists and they sync their lists so that one of them can check something off if they have the chance to pick it up on their way home. That way the other one can see that the particular item is checked off and does not need to be bought any more. I recently installed the AnyList app but have not set it up yet for me and my husband to use. When I have a chance to do that, I'll let you know how hard or easy set-up was for me using VO. In the meanwhile, if anyone else has experience with AnyList, setting it up for two users, and using it, please let us all know. Thanks :-) - Laurie M.

Re: Mail forwarding, Can we avoid the unneeded info?
With all due respect, this kind of answer (below) is not helpful to the person who made the original query, or to anyone else for that matter. If you don't know how to help that person, please don't increase their frustration by telling them that what is irritating to them is just fine and dandy because it obviously is not fine and dandy. Actually, the default should never be to display full envelope information because 99% of the time people forward messages for other purposes than to communicate with a system administrator. On the off chance that one wishes to forward envelope information to a system administrator, one can and should reserve display of that information for that rare purpose at that particular time. Particularly for blind people who generally have to listen to read mail (forwarded or otherwise) it is particularly bothersome and downright unacceptable to have to listen through lines and lines of unwanted and unnecessary ramble in order to simply get to the point of the information that is being mailed to us. I do not personally know the list member who originally asked how to get rid of the envelope ramble but on that person's behalf I had to speak up to ask that messages such as the one below please not be sent in future because that kind of dismissiveness and disregard for another person's legitimate questions is not at all helpful to promote info-sharing. If anyone on this list does know how to help the person who asked how to change their mail setting to hide the full envelope information in all forwarded mail, I hope that that person will please share that information with all of us because it would b helpful information indeed.

Re: Screen curtain on iPhone
Actually, those with vision report that if you turn screen curtain on in a darkened room you can easily see that there is light still on. Chris's explanation seems consistent with this observation. On the other hand, I have had great battery life on my MacBookAir just keeping the screen brightness and keyboard brightness down to zero when using it on battery. This can be done by: turn the screen brightness down by pressing and holding the F1 key (increase brightness by pressing and holding F2) and decrease the keyboard backlight to zero by pressing and holding down the F5 key. To share my own experience, I can use my Air which is several years old now for about 4 hours on battery. I have not paid enough attention to my typical battery life on my iPod to make it worth trying to share that, though.

Think of it like this: you have a pare of sunglasses. Now, if you was to take those and paint black paint over their lenses, that's basically in a nutshell what you're doing with the screen curtain. You're not really per sé making the screen power/brightness any less intense. You're basically just drawing solid black highlight over the top of it, thus, nulling/blacking it out. If you really want to truely increase your battery life, your better bet would probably be to go into settings, and turn the screen brightness all the way down to 0%. And no, doing that plus enabling the curtain really wouldn't probably have any ill effect, no, but I don't really think it would help matters either.

The first thing to do then, is find an app you want to put in to a folder with another app. Double tap it, but after the second tap, do not lift your finger from the screen, but instead, slide your finger to where the second app is that you want to be in the same folder. Voice Over will tell you what is happening as you move your finger, so will announce when you come across the other app. When VO says on [other app name lift your finger from the screen, and this is when the folder will be created, and will have the two apps in it. By sliding your finger in the usual way, you will see the app names in the folder, and also see an edit field for the folder name, so you can change it if the default isn't of your liking. Most of us have to spend a bit of time getting use to moving apps around the screen, and sometimes, if you are not quick enough, and hold your finger on a second app for too long, a folder might get created that you didn't want, but don't panic if this happens, just locate the app you are trying to work with from within the wrongly created folder, and slide it out of that folder, and the folder will disappear, but not the apps you mistakenly put in it.

noticing an unwanted difference in dictation since upgrading to 7...
Hi, Since I upgraded to ios7 for my iPod, I've noticed several things that are taking some getting used to, but one that is especially unpleasant is that when texting and using dictate to create a text message the sound that dings to announce that dictate mode has started has become much, much quieter than before and even the repeat back of the text I have dictated is at a very low volume. My regular volume is set fine via the buttons on the side of the iPod, but it is odd that the sounds during dictate mode are so much significantly quieter than the set volume. This causes some problems in a noisy environment since it's hard for me to hear that the dictate mode has started. Do any of you know if there's a way to fix this problem and if so how?

question about strange consequence of iPod update...
Hi all, I only recently updated to version 7 for my iPod and after the update, among the expected changes, I am finding that after I click the lock button and the voice over voice says that the screen is locked, a few seconds later the voice repeats screen locked. This seems very strange to me. Is this happening for any of you as well? Any thoughts about why it's happening?

major improvement to US currency reading app!
Hi all, I just installed this update to the iNote app and it is much, much improved from the old version! It's much quicker than before and it offers one the ability to set it to display a choice of whether the result will be spoken, presented as a tone, or offered via vibration. For anyone who uses US currency, I absolutely recommend it. :-) - Laurie M. Here is the news release FYI: Upgraded Currency Reader App Launched by Bureau of Engraving and Printing A new version of the EyeNote™ mobile device application (app) that denominates U.S. currency was released by the Department of the Treasury’s Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) today, replacing the version originally launched in April 2011. The newer version is easier and quicker to operate because it uses a continuous scan function to identify the note, rather than requiring the user to take a picture. EyeNote™ can be downloaded for free onto many Apple iPhone, iPad, and iPod products. It recognizes all Federal Reserve notes issued since 1996, including the new $100 note that began circulating in October, and communicates the denomination back to the user through an audible response (English or Spanish) or a vibration pulse mode for privacy. EyeNote™ was developed by BEP as an interim solution to increase accessibility to Federal Reserve notes among blind and visually impaired individuals while the U.S. government develops a system of raised tactile features to incorporate into future redesigned notes. “The recent enhancements made to the EyeNote™ app make it an even more effective tool to assist people in denominating U.S. currency,” said Treasurer of the United States Rosie Rios. “It offers portability and speed, both requirements when used in a retail environment, and the convenience of not needing to carry around a separate reader by using one’s personal mobile device.” The EyeNote™ app has more than 14,000 downloads since the 2011 launch. Users who downloaded the original version of EyeNote™ will automatically receive notification on their devices that an updated version of the app is available to download. Others can download the upgraded version for free through the Apple App Store℠ via iTunes®.

adjusting from iPod to iPhone5 with OS7
Hi, I am used to using an iPod and not using any smart phone, but recently have been using a new phone and it's an iPhone5 with OS7. I thought it would be similar to the functions on the iPod but one difference that I found that I could use a hint on is the search function. On the iPod a three finger swipe from the first page of apps (or pressing the button once from that first page) brings up the search feature. This does not work on iPhone5 on OS7. Maybe it is a difference between a phone and an iPod or maybe it's the OS version. Anyway, how does one get the search feature on an iPhone please? (smile) With too many apps on a phone it is nice to be able to search a keyword. Also, how does one delete contacts from their contacts list?

Re: US app question please
Thanks everyone. I'll check out the suggestions. For now, I installed TWC (The Weather Channel) and enabled severe weather alerts for my home city. I'll let you know if that is at all helpful after we have one of our inevitable severe weather situations this spring. I'll also let you know if this app is at all helpful for warning information while traveling. I'll look at the suggestions you've shared. In the meanwhile, this TWC app is free and I'll see how it goes.

Re: Help testing the free National Geographic World Atlas on iPad
Hi Esther, A friend of mine who has an iPad checked this out and here's her comment. Well you can tell them that the app is useless as far as access goes. Too bad, having a way to check out maps would have been really cool. Oh well. Mary Beth --- On Tue, 1/29/13, Esther mori...@mac-access.net wrote: From: Esther mori...@mac-access.net Subject: Help testing the free National Geographic World Atlas on iPad To: Mac OS X iOS Accessibility mac-access@mac-access.net Date: Tuesday, January 29, 2013, 2:16 PM Hi All, Would someone who is an experienced iPad user be willing to download and check the National Geographic World Atlas app that is free today? Here's the background: I bought the previous version recently when the price dropped to $0.99 and installed it on my iPad, and it works beautifully as far as accessibility and content goes. All buttons are announced, the controls are easily placed so that the button for selecting locations from a list, Nations Territories button, is at the top left corner and is the first element of the screen, and the search text box for typing in specific searches is in the top right corner. The descriptive text is all shown in the same pop up window for the Nations Territories selection, you can easily navigate to the back button in its top left corner, etc. This app is also universal binary for use on iPhone and iPad and the App Store URL is: • National Geographic World Atlas by National Geographic Society (free for a short time) https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/national-geographic-world/id364733950?mt=8 So when this showed up as a free app today, I was going to post it at AppleVis, but decided to check first, because a number of reviews stated that it seemed like a downgrade from the previous version. some of that was because of the inability to download offline maps, which is not an issue for me. However, I checked by downloading the version to my IPhone 5, and was disappointed with the accessibility, because you can't get to any of the text content description. Well, you can bring this up if you toggle VO off, then touch the bottom of the screen where the text name of the country or region you selected is announced, and flick up. This brings up a menu with all the information and buttons that automatically comes up with the iPad version I have. (And no, you can't drag this window up with a double tap and hold pass-through gesture or anything else I tried on the iPhone with VO still on.) I don't know whether the accessibility issues are the difference between the iPhone and iPad versions, or just the latest update, which came out today -- the same day as the price change. I didn't try downloading the older version on my iPhone 4, since I was just going to upgrade my phone, and I don't want to update my beautifully working iPad version in case there's an accessibility drop in the latest release. The download is 203.4 MB in size. By the way, to add to the confusion, there's an older World Atlas by National Geographic app expressly for the iPhone that they've also made free today. It's accessible and smaller in size (69.0 MB) but doesn't have the wealth of additional information that makes the present atlas worth having. It's more for people who are mainly interested in maps, and if you want the text content in an iPhone app, I'd recommend the World Factbook 2013 by jDictionary Mobile ($0.99) instead. If you do happen to download this older World Atlas by National Geographic iPhone app, it will be labeled as World Atlas exactly like the new universal National Geographic World Atlas app that has the accessibility issues on the iPhone that I described above. Plus, you will get an alert when you start up the app urging you to get their new Universal app, which is free for a short period, since they will be discontinuing support of the old app. Thanks, and sorry for the long post.

Please keep in mind that Mac-Access is an iOS OS X group; Windows Discussion is strictly off topic and will no longer be tolerated. Hi, Just to let anyone know, in case this might be helpful, To turn the screen brightness back up to a level that would enable a user with sight to read it, the key is the function 2 key. Function 1 turns the brightness of the screen down and function 2 increases the screen brightness. And, if you require it, to turn the keyboard illumination up it's function 6. Function 5 turns the keyboard illumination down while function 6 increases keyboard illumination. Also, turning the screen brightness down to zero (dark) does not adversely impact the screen reader.

question: clicking links in messages
As I am trying to use Mac mail more and more instead of reverting to doing mail off of the internet via IE9 in Windows, I find myself a bit frustrated with my lack of knowledge on how to do certain basic things. For now, could someone please tell me: while reading an e-mail message in my Apple Mail on the MacBook, if there are links presented in a message, how do I click on one of those links to open whatever page that link points to? I assume that if I am successful in opening a link, a new window will open to open that link in Safari, for example. Then, after reading what I wish to read, I can simply close the Safari window and go back to the message window to handle the message as desired. Is this also a correct assumption? :-) Thanks much! - Laurie --- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net --- To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages postedto the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html or at the public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

Now, how to go from folder list to message list or over to favorites list? Well, I use the VO keys along with the left or right arrow keys. (control, option, left or right arrow) This takes me from one column on the page to the other. For example, suppose I arrow down my folder list to notes and under that to the iCloud notes folder. Then, I use the control, option, right arrow twice (because doing it once lands me on a vertical spacer). This brings me over to the column with the list of notes in it. Then, I use just the arrow keys (in this case arrow down) to go down the list of my notes to the one I want to read. Once on the message I want, I use enter (return) to go into it and read it. I do not use the VO keys for anything else in mail than to move from column to column, or to read the message header once in a message. Using just the regular keyboard keys works just fine.

Re: back with more questions apple mail
VO says blank because there is a blank space on the line where the graphic for unread message would be. This blank means that your message is not an unread message. If it was an unread message, the line would be read, beginning with the word unread. I do not find this to be a problem, personally. To me it means that VO is reading out all of the information that is available to seeing users. /smile/ hth- Laurie On Feb 5, 2012, at 8:12 AM, Maria Chapman wrote: Hi. i am trying out the classic layout in mail. it seems pretty good except that vo says blank at the beginning of each message as i'm navigating the list. is there any way i can get vo to stop saying blank, and then from etc?

voiceover language question, please
Hi, Can voiceover read/speak in more than one language, depending on what text it encounters? On my MacBook Air, I have set language preferences in the order that I want, and I have enabled the scripts that I want, but voiceover is not reading in any language other than English, regardless of text. Apparently, the screen displays all scripts correctly, it is just that voiceover is not reading anything other than English. What I am hoping to achieve is what I have using NVDA in Windows. With NVDA, the reading can be set to read through text even switching automatically between languages. For example, if I have a document written in Hindi using Dev Nagri script, in which there is also some English text, NVDA will read both the Hindi and the English smoothly, switching as appropriate between the languages as the text alternates. So, can voiceover be multi-lingual? If so, how do I set this up? Thanks very much! - Laurie --- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net --- To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages postedto the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html or at the public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

Re: Apple Mail on a Mac Concerning Message List
Hi, Please know that I am very new to using my Mac and mail on it. But, here's what I am doing to read my mail. I open the mail program and simply use the arrow keys to move through the mailboxes (actually, I often use a letter key to skip directly to a mailbox pressing the letter that is the first letter in that box's name). I also use just the arrow keys to move up and down the list of messages, hitting return to open a message. I use delete to delete a message either before or after opening it. The only time that I am using the VO keys to navigate within mail is to move left or right from column to column (from mailbox to the list of messages in it, for example). In that case, I use VO plus either right or left arrow. Using this method, I'm able to hear the indication of unread, you replied to this message, etc. for each message in the list for a mailbox. I tried out this method inspired by the advice of a friend who suggested that sometimes using Apple keyboard commands is easier than using specific VO commands. I hope that this is helpful, but I look forward to hearing from others who know more than I do about this. :-) One thing that I have wondered is if there is a quick way to go from the bottom of a list of messages back up to the top?
